Show me what's on your hook!

My list of patterns to-do and designs to come up with gets longer every day, and since my own work is not progressing as quickly as I would like, I thought I'd open up the floor to feature some of YOUR work.

That's right.... I want you to show me what's on your hook. You can submit original amigurumi designs and ami's you've made from purchased/downloaded patterns to my new Flikr group, Itsy Bitsy Spider Amigurumi. Each week, I'll pick a few to feature on my blog!

Here's what you need to do:

If you don't have one already, get yourself a Flikr account. It's free!

Snap some pictures of your latest amigurumi project and upload them to Flikr.

Share your pictures with my new group, Itsy Bitsy Spider Amigurumi. If the ami is from your original design, let me know a little about how you came up with it in the image comments. If you made your ami from a purchased/downloaded pattern, tell me whose design it is.

That's it! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you all are making!

What is amigurumi?

Amigurumi(編み包み) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically cute animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc.), but can include inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. Amigurumi can be either knitted or crocheted. In recent years crocheted amigurumi are more popular and more commonly seen.
